Society of Illustrators

Image
          Me and my class had a trip to the Society of Illustrators where we were observing the paintings and pieces of art from different illustrators/artists.The piece that can be seen above was made by Alex Ross that was made with watercolor on paper that was donated by Helen Ross.This was probably my favorite painting there because of how the choice of color (with the use of positive and negative space) was utilized with the detail added in the hair;this is huge inspiration for me to keep doing drawings and even use as a refrence for future projects.There was a surplus of pieces in the museum that were very captivating and intresting;a Harry Potter painting was even shown and made on a huge canvas (as well as the Dreamworks kid on the moon logo) most likely made with pencil and paint.The reason why it was my favorite piece there was because it's Harry Potter and the amount of.Throughout the visit,there were various floors that each had a different set of pie...

Photoshop Blend Modes

Image
      This was an interesting assignment I had to do since I haven't been using Photoshop that often.We had to change the contrast or the visual look for each of the 25 copies of my selfie.For the first few I looked at the texture option that I found out about and played around with that for a few as well with the blur quite a bit.For the next layers I discover the Color and Gradient overlay and used that to change the colors as well as the outside shadows of each picture (that I was surprised how they all came out) as well as the Inner Shadow option that might be my favorite blending option out of all of them.For the background,I accidently changed the contrast of it,but I decided to keep it because it helped make some of the other blends stand out more (especially the red one on the bottom left corner).For the second one on the top left corner,I feel like I should've changed the opacity of it,but I just left it as is so it helps the background pass by.

Branded Printed Ad

      At last my final ad has been made after many days.The process that I did to create this ad goes as followed that I had some fun in the process of making the final piece:I first started with copying my logo and pasting it into the gray space,away from the main stage,then I continued with working on the background (which took me a bit to do) that I came up with giving it a thick outline with a gray backcolor to accomidate then text in the background so it would give the ad itself some meaning as how for the background type I put song lyrics from rapper DC the Don and band Dragonforce (that a friend of mine gave the idea of doing that).After finishing with the background.I moved on with positioning my logo in the middle using the 4 x 6 grid (even though it was suppose to be 6 x 4) and creating the text to go with it.I went ahead and enlarged the Beat and Today words to help give the advertisement some hierarchy aspect to it.After that,I copied and pasted a music note I...

Logo Development

Image
      Here are the draft sketches I mde for my logo design.As you can see,there's alot of variety of logos and branding name desgins I made.For the first few that I made (the top left 4),I went with using the same brand name since I saw it as appealing to people since my company is a music streaming app (which the same name would be used throughout my sketches),I thought that it would be a nice change with minimal hierarchy.However,for the big one,that most people liked,I went with focusing highly on hierarchy with making the letters 3d as well as making them a bit slanted as you read it from left to right and making each letter progressively bigger than the other (expect the P because I wanted the U to be at the same level as the P).For the logos below the huge brand name,I went with making each logo somewhat different than one another for variety and testing logo ideas I had in mind.But the one below the U,I got inspiration from the character Lucio from the game Overwat...
